Basalt pillars as they generate in a soul sand valley

Basalt pillars are vertical basalt formations that generate in the Minecraft:soul sand valley biome. They are registered as a placed feature with a spawn rate of 10 per chunk, ensuring they appear frequently. Their height and distribution are randomized based on placement rules, contributing to the biome's rugged aesthetic.

Construction

Basalt pillars have their starting points in the ceiling of an area, then have a pillar of between one and three blocks wide in both the X and Z axis going all the way down to the ground, where a flat clump of basalt can be found around a 3×3 area from the center of the pillar, as if a vertical Minecraft:lava flow, like those commonly found in the Nether, had solidified.
